Looking for a place to stash some cash, jewelry, or other valuable objects? Your home offers plenty of hiding spaces, and the Construction of Secret Hiding Places is a free manual that will teach you how to use or make them.

We've seen a few of these clever hiding spots before, including the DIY soup-can safe and hidden doortop stash, but this illustrated manual by Charles Robinson offers a variety of hiding places and instructions for their use, from making the most of "dead spaces" in your home to creating a false bottom drawer.

It's a fascinating read even if you don't have anything to hide.
